ignoring files on compile

I have a vs code plugin that auto-saves and keeps history of local edits (much like JetBrains products). It creates a .history folder with older versions of files. When I try to run/debug in vs code the compiler sees those old files. I have to delete the .history folder in order to run.

How can I configure my project to ignore that folder?

I've never seen this with CIQ and VS Code. Unless the backup has .mc at the end, it shouldn't me used and unless a file is referenced in an xml file it should be ignored in resources. How are you doing your edits? with another extension?

Editing with plan ol'VS Code. The local history plugin saves edits in a .history folder within the current project. These are timestamped copies of the .mc files, which the compiler is picking up.

Remove the local history plug in or see if there's an option to save the files some place else. It's what's causing you problems. Anything under source with a .mc extension will be compiled with MonkeyC,

Another way you could do this is to override the default source path for your project.

In ${SDK_PATH}\bin, there's a file called default.jungle which has the following line:

base.sourcePath = .\**.mc

You could create a project folder called src\ for all your source files and add the following to your project's monkey.jungle:

base.sourcePath = src\**.mc
